    Workout Routine & Suggestions

    As the school year is ending tomorrow, so is my weight training class, which I came to love over the course of a semester. I'm looking to continue working out, but my restraints are minimal equipment (literally just a Nautilus SelectTech 552 dumbbell set.) My main goals are pecs and abs, with side focus of biceps and calves. I've made, with knowledge gathered from several online sources, a nightly workout circuit, which I repeat 2-3 times:

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Burpees 6-8
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Weighted Squat 20
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Plank 45 Seconds
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Incline Push-Up* 20
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Hip Thrust 20
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Walking Lunge 20 total (10 per leg)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Russian Twist 10
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Standard Push-Up 20
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Crunch 30
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Mountain Climber 20 total (10 per leg)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Concentration Curl 20 total (2 sets of 5 per arm)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    As far as nutrition, I've been cutting down greatly my sugar intake, and having a scoop of whey protein in water after the workout every night.
    Is there anything I can change about this to make it better/more effective, etc? And any nutrition tips? Thanks everyone who replies!

    Stats:
    5'1" 95lbs (go ahead, make fun of it all you want)
    Bench: 65
    Squat: 125

    You need to find a proper workout routine and you don’t want to just be focusing on chest and arms. Back and legs are just as important

    Could you help with finding/making a proper routine, keeping in mind the only equipment I have is adjustable dumbbells? Thanks!!
